LET NOTHING STEAL YOUR JOY

I left home that morning in very high spirit. I walked to the ministry office praying and singing. I was singing with joy. It rained the previous evening.

I had just finished my Senior School Certificate Examinations. It was that season of life when you become really adventurous as a teenager. One of my friends rode a motorcycle to our house.

IT IS STILL POSSIBLE

Just as we were wrapping up the communion service, I sensed a prompt in my heart that it was still possible to use our new facility for the 10th anniversary and convention of the Church. I said to the church, “Do we believe it is possible?” The answer was not too strong and I understood.  But that evening, I requested […]
